The following is a man’s recipe for eventually learning to live all alone… Shoot, I really hate it when the wife’s feelin’ bad. It jest gets her down and seems to mess up her days. I’ve watched it all through our marriage, so I know what I’m a’sayin’ to be true. Recently, I got up one early frosty mornin’ when she was sick, and bless her heart, she had yet to stoke the fire. And she also let the supply in the wood box run out. I shore feel bad for her when she lets that happen. ‘Cause I...

New veterinarian Cori Hoffman's eyes brighten in his pale, angular face when he talks about the joy he finds in analysis – in solving the mystery of an animal's suffering, and figuring out how to ease that suffering. Despite the life and death stakes of his work, he's a gentle conversationalist; his voice has a slight lilt that's especially noticeable when he acknowledges another's input, a noise meaning "yes, I hear you" that ends in an optimistic up-note. He seems the gentle, preoccupied scien... Full story
